Notice how you're far too intellectually dishonest to include the example for your own definition. 9_9
You just keep equivocating words in a lame attempt to backpedal from your obvious ignorance and illiteracy.

Notice how I post whatever the fuck I want and will continue posting the definition every time you try to deny it.

IOW, you obviously don't comprehend your own definition, and instead of defending it, you will now be a petulant little twerp.
Got it!

Okay...
2) a word or phrase that is often repeated and expresses a particular strong belief
synonyms for mantra: motto, slogan, catchword, shibboleth. usage: a commonly repeated word or phrase; "she repeated `So pleased with how its going' at intervals like a mantra"
Yes, repeated "like a mantra." Not just a phrase said several times, spaced out by hours, days, years, etc..
Still trying to avoid your first definition's example, which clearly demonstrates the interval of a mantra:

The British fans chanted that familiar soccer mantra: "Here we go, here we go, here we go..."
And still completely at odds with your first claim:

Neither "here we go" nor "So pleased with how its going" are "true and universally applicable."
LOL! You really should have settled for being a petulant twerp. Now you've said enough to removed all doubt.

No dumbass. As a phrase that is repeated
at intervals, not chanted over and over again.
"a motto, slogan, catchword, shibboleth. usage:

In no way does that mean chanting something over and over again like the first definition of mantra. Saying the phrase "so pleased with how its going" wouldn't be chanted over and over again. It would only be repeated over a period of time, AT INTERVALS. It means mantra as a motto, a slogan, or a catchword, as stated in the second definition. A COMMONLY REPEATED word or phrase, which means by many different people. Once again you are utterly refuted. Slither back under your rock.
Quote:Neither "here we go" nor "So pleased with how its going" are "true and universally applicable."
Bullshit they aren't. There are literally thousands of circumstances where "here we go" or "so pleased with how its going" is repeated. That's what makes it a slogan or catchword. A mantra. A COMMONLY repeated word or phrase. Slogans and catchwords aren't chanted over and over again. They are repeated at different times under different circumstances because they are true and universally applicable. Now fuck off with your pissy irrelevant hairsplitting.
Artistic people often have difficulty with context.
Illiterate people are so intellectually dishonest. Repeatedly avoiding the example given in your bolded definition and equivocating different meanings is chickenshit backpedaling.
Too bad you don't understand what any of that means. 9_9
And? Or are you easily influenced by these rich celebrities?
